Glen Tilt

Glens

Glen Tilt is a long glen, extending 11 miles (18 km) from the village of Blair Atholl to the remote Falls of Tarf.

The hinterland behind Blair Atholl is a paradise for walkers, mountain bikers and those simply wishing to enjoy some wonderful Perthshire scenery.

The main route through the glen is on good tracks and passes through woodland and farmland before opening out into typical upland scenery with steep heathery hills on either side. There is plenty of interest along the way, not least the delightful River Tilt, with its charming pools and waterfalls and constant presence close to the path.

Glen Tilt is part of the 140,000 acres that make up Atholl Estates. A network of 30 miles (48 km) of way-marked walking trails and 40 miles (65 km) of cycle routes that have been developed to help visitors discover the fascinating history and wildlife of this working landscape. The trails cover a variety of distances and pass by rivers and burns, through woodlands and into wild moorland and upland areas.
